1969 NHRA Nationals, 69 Buick wins D/S=9.00 what car/engine

OK More mysteries, again from the 1969 Indy Nationals results.
Drag News, 6 Sep 1969.
Their text says the C/SA=8.50 class winner was Bill Morgan in a 1964 GTO.

Well, the top GTO was of course the 389/348-6v which has a W/P=9.50 so would run in E/SA (with a powerglide?????) and not C/SA.
Maybe it was the GTO with the 421HO option, like the magazine article.

Are these typos or how do you miss stuff like that?
